Historical Background:In order to increase the chances of success of the initial landings in Southern England, OKW decided that Kurt Student's famous 7th Flieger Division, recently deployed to battle in Holland, to be used in an airborne assault north-west of Folkestone.

At dawn on September 22, 1940, some 5,000 Fallschirmjagers initiated Unternehmen Ikarus. Ju-52s missed their designated drop zones and two regiments of Fallschirmjagers found themselves closer to their original objectives of RAF Lympne and Postling Heights. Kurt Student lead the attack on Lympne, only half-recovered after the Netherlands mission.

British Home Guard and Army units mobilized in the area, trying to maintain control of strategic points.

The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn and you are in command. The rest is alternate history.
